once the cultist laid dead at their feet, one, still alive gurgled blood as he laughed, "fools, my god wanted me to die, so i can serve him in the afterlife as one of his soldiers of the dead. he laughed as he fell to the ground dead. the gold and the map at Valios' feet

Darko

"Damned am i mortal" he smiled as he entered valios' mind, "lets see what you fear" he looked and looked and finally found the perfect thing to act upon, his father laid slain at the foot of the throne of his kingdom, by the false king "You fear your kindom in ashes, your fathers legacy brought down" he left Valios' mind and waved his hand in front of Valios' eyes and forced a flashback of his father lying dead as Valios looked at the cultist lying dead and he whispered in his ear again, "Valios, i know what happened to your kingdom, dont you wish for your fathers throne, i can grant you this, just do as i asked, take the Gold and pay the barbarian, to take you to the destination on the map, their i will grant you the power to reclaim your kingdom"

He looked at Eida, he knew she could see the tormented souls leave the dead bodies of the cultists, how ever the cultist was right and wrong, he wanted him to die, but he wasnt gonna be part of the army, just another soul sent down into eternal torment. he Floated over to Eida, "I knew you would make me proud Eida," he whispered in her ear "I know your mother is proud of you too, lead this prince to the Destination on the map, and more shall be revealed to you." He smiled as the glow surrounding the ax faded then the ax looked normal again, it was but a taste of power he had granted. 

The map was a layout of the land, with a destination marked and a trail to follow, the first stop was the Plagued Forest

[b][i]the plagued forest, only the truly brave go there, and if their lucky to survive it, and come back with riches from with the forest, they were to be given a audience with nobles and/or king. But, none have returned from the forest, the forest is cursed by nature, every tree in the forest is dead or dying, the forest lays quiet with out a single animal sound, not even a cricket is heard. Rumors say that it is filled with walking corpses guarding a forbidden trail leading to the Reapers Teeth mountains. Some say that something dark dwells within those mountains, but what are adventures for, who knows whats in the mountain, could be riches, could be a youth fountain, could be dragons, who's scales make light but strong armor, or it could be nothing but unexplored[/i][/b]
